Democrats turned out big to vote, Republicans and the Church didn’t

The 2 statewide races — for president and for U.S. Senate — were dominated by Democrats, and they energized and brought out more Democrats to vote than Republicans.

Official election results | Steve Frank: “Republican Party in California in ICU”

I always hunger for Church renewal, which would not just “balance” the evil forces with the forces of good but would overcome sin. Of course, without repentance, this won’t happen personally or politically.

So, on June 7, there were more wins for anti-family Democrats and notable losses for good Republicans who would have actually fought for children and families.

  • There won’t be any Republican — liberal or conservative — in the U.S. Senate runoff in November. Instead the “choice” will be between two staunch liberals, Democrats Kamala Harris (40%) and Loretta Sanchez (18.5%). Among the Republican candidates, mostly conservative Tom Del Beccarro gained only 4.2%, while liberal, moneyed Republican Duf Sundheim gained 8%. Stalwart conservative Phil Wyman did surprising strong at 4.9%. Add up all the votes for the 12 Republican candidates in this race, and it totals 29.4%. Can you say divide and conquer?
  • I’m personally sad that pro-family champions Andy Pugno of Folsom and Mike Spence of West Covina have fallen short in their Assembly races, that Samuel Anderson lost his Stockton-area state Senate campaign, and that Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County came short in his congressional bid. These losses for these pro-family fighters are losses for California families.
  • A strong, pro-family conservative named Justin Fareed has gotten more votes than wimpy Republican Katcho Achadjian in the congressional district covering Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. This could be a conservative pick-up in November, as could another congressional seat in San Bernardino County, where a strong pro-family fighter, Republican Paul Chabot, could replace incumbent Democrat Pete Aguilar.
  • Looking ahead, there’s a chance for greater conservative turnout in November if full-blown marijuana legalization joins the grocery store plastic bag ban on the statewide ballot. But that won’t be enough for victory, unless many more individuals and pastors work to define what’s constitutional and pro-family and challenge California voters to open their eyes and ears to the existence and evidence of absolute good and evil.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what
is evil. Cling to what is good. Romans 12:9

Do these California Republicans deserve to win or lose?

When voting, do you have a minimum moral standard? For me, that minimum pro-family standard is the candidate must vote against murderous abortion, against the harmful “LGBT” agenda, for parental rights, and for religious freedom. I call these God’s non-negotiables.

But if your voting standard is “the lesser of two evils,” you can eventually vote for just about anything, right? Because “it’s all relative.”

My joke for professing Christians about the non-biblical “lesser of two evils” standard is to have them imagine a scenario where there are only two candidates: The Democrat candidate is the devil — and the Republican candidate is the Beast from the Book of Revelation. Professing Christians with a certain view of the end times, who have a lesser-of-two-evils voting standard, will justify voting for the Beast, saying, “He’ll give us three-and-a-half good years!” Listen to my SaveCalifornia.com Radio Minute on this

Now, all jokes aside, here’s something very important to think about this election:

If-ThenIf you support the sanctity of human life or oppose the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda, ask yourself — will you support or oppose Republican candidates who oppose God’s non-negotiable values?

Joining nearly all the Democrats in the California State Legislature, 16 Republican legislators voted in 2015 to “celebrate” “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month”:

State Senator Anthony Cannella: Modesto-Merced-Fresno area stretching to Salinas and 101 strip on coast
State Senator Jeff Stone: Riverside County
Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian: All of San Luis Obispo County and north Santa Barbara County
Assemblywoman Catharine Baker: Walnut Creek-Danville-San Ramon-Dublin-Pleasanton-Livermore
Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang: Chino Hills-Yorba Linda-Brea-La Habra-Walnut
Assemblyman Rocky Chávez: Northern coastal San Diego County
Assemblyman David Hadley: Los Angeles beach cities and south bay area
Assemblyman Matthew Harper: Coastal Orange County (Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods)
Assemblywoman Young Kim: Anaheim-Buena Park-Cypress-Fullerton-La Palma-Stanton
Assemblyman Tom Lackey: Lancaster-Palmdale area
Assemblyman Eric Linder: Corona-Eastvale-Jurupa Valley-Riverside
Assemblyman Brian Maienschein: Clairemont-Kearny Mesa-TierraSanta-Poway-Rancho Santa Fe
Assemblyman Devon Mathis: Tulare and Inyo counties
Assemblyman Chad Mayes: Yucaipa-Banning-Hemet-Morongo Valley-Yucca Valley-Twentynine Palms-Palm Springs-La Quinta
Assemblyman Marc Steinorth: Rancho Cucamonga-Redlands-Loma Linda-Highland-San Bernardino
Assemblyman Scott Wilk: Santa Clarita Valley and Simi Valley

pro-suicideAlso last year, 3 Assembly Republicans — Catharine Baker of Contra Costa County, David Hadley of the Los Angeles beach cities area, and Brian Maienschein of north San Diego and San Diego County — voted YES to make California a Suicide State via “physician-assisted suicide.”

Voting YES were 2 Assembly Republicans — Catherine Baker of Contra Costa County and Young Kim of Orange County — and 2 Senate Republicans Jeff Stone of Riverside County and Andy Vidak of Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare counties.

They were Catherine Baker of Contra Costa County, Ling Ling Chang of Los Angeles County, Young Kim of Orange County, and Brian Maienschein of San Diego County. See the harm | See the vote

Please consider your own moral values. Will you vote for any California candidate — Democrat, Republican, or other — even if they attack your values? Something to think about as you prepare to vote June 7.

charlesfinney[T]he time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them. . . . Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently. . . . Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it – and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they [Christians] take [in politics]. The great American evangelist Charles Finney (1792-1875)

RED ALERT: Act now to keep ‘men’ and ‘women’ restrooms separate

Monday, April 18, 2016, 8:37 am | Randy Thomasson

Photos of high schoolers in Los Angeles creating official “all gender” multi-person restroom by removing “girls” sign from restroom door.

Unless you act now, you can kiss separate restrooms for men and women goodbye. The next vote in the California State Assembly is April 20.

Ready for sexual anarchy to bust loose?

Today, you’re seeing the pro-perversity Democrats and Republicans pushing to eliminate separate single-stall restrooms for men and women.

But a few years after young people have become desensitized, you can fully expect bad politicians to then push to eliminate men and women restrooms, where there are multiple stalls and multiple persons allowed in.

Mark my words — this is the goal of the transsexual agenda politicians. They want to replace natural, God-given genders with sexual anarchy — to the utter confusion of children. It’s already happening at a Los Angeles high school.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Please take a stand today against this blatant attack on male and female distinctions. Call the deciding votes before April 20 and say:

“I’m calling because I want Assemblymember _______ to oppose AB 1732. This bill paves the way for mixing men with women in multiple-stall restrooms, motivates small businesses to offer one not two restrooms, affects home businesses, and threatens church schools and the religious freedom of everyone. Please vote no.”

SAVECALIFORNIA.COM ANALYSIS OF AB 1732
Bill Text

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: (as amended April 11, 2016)

SECTION 1. Article 5 (commencing with Section 118600) is added to Chapter 2 of Part 15 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:

Article 5. Single-User Restrooms
118600. (a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.

(b) During any inspection of a business or a place of public accommodation by an inspector, building official, or other local official responsible for code enforcement, the inspector or official may inspect for compliance with this section.

(c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user.

(d) This section shall become operative on March 1, 2017.

What the 2 key sentences mean:

(a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.

This means:

1. The “men” and “women” — or “boys” and “girls” — all the men/women/boys/girls restroom signs currently on single-occupancy restrooms must come down.

2. Pro-transsexuality/cross-dressing/”sex change” symbols defining restrooms as “all gender” must go up instead.

3. Small businesses that wish to save time and money can go from having two restrooms (men and women) to only one restroom (“all gender”).

4. Even home businesses come under the “any business establishment” phrase.

5. “Place of public accommodation” is undefined and could mean private entities of several types. Federal law, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, says the only places of public accommodation are private entities. Under AB 1732, which private entities are included and which are excluded? Small businesses, home businesses, religious businesses, schools, church schools, churches — where in the bill does it say who is included and who is exempt? Besides the lack of definition for “public accommodation,” there is no religious exemption in AB 1732.

(c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user.

This could mean:

1. For businesses that must have restrooms — such as food service or gas stations — under this definition, must they now pay to install men’s urinals in current women’s restrooms?

2. For home businesses, must they now pay to install a men’s urinal in addition to paying for and posting an “all gender” restroom sign?

Please act now, before the April 20 vote on AB 1732 in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man,
nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment,
for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.
